Gwappi's, Penelope Bourbon, and the Great Golf Fellowship

Sports Is Beyond Us: When Ticket Prices, NIL, and Stadiums Break the Game

A lively episode where the hosts recount a budget-friendly round at Lexington Golf Club, riff on mosquitoes, microbreweries and Mel Brooks, and debate how rising ticket prices, NIL deals and stadium upgrades are changing sports. They mix personal stories about golf, family, and classic beers with a bigger argument about affordability and the future of the games fans love.

Bourbon, Puppies & the Golden Age of Golf

Two hosts trade morning banter over bourbon, announce a tiny new puppy, and celebrate anniversaries while previewing local talks and golf events. Conversation ranges from the U.S. Open and Arnold Palmer stories to ECU sports recruiting, barbecue rivalries, travel tales, and the host’s next book about golf’s golden age.

From Detroit Bargain Bourbon to Bud Cauley's Comeback:, a daughter’s passion for sports.

Hosts trade stories from a chaotic road trip — bargain Buffalo Trace finds, a soggy Oakland Hills visit, and a deep dive into Ben Hogan lore and Bud Cauley’s comeback. They riff on Shinnecock, sports betting, Carolina teams, and announce a tongue-in-cheek local “butt” contest. Guests include the host’s daughter discussing ECU baseball upgrades and fan culture, plus comic side notes about raccoons, a road-killed rabbit, and classic broadcaster anecdotes. The episode blends golf history, family banter, and light-hearted Southern hospitality.

Vintage Clubs & New Books: Rustic Golf Tales from Sandy and Dodson

Two friends trade stories from a sun-baked weekend at Hemlock International—golf, bourbon, and the ever-present Redneck Rota—while teasing a new golf book and the latest Golfer’s Journal. They also discuss local courses, quirky diners, tournament changes (including worries about the Wyndham), and lively college sports and fishing sidelines. The episode mixes warm nostalgia, playful banter, and community updates, and ends with an invitation for listeners to share favorite country golf spots and local road-rage reports.

Bursitis, Bourbon, and a Madcap Road Trip to Old Homestead

Hosts trade whiskey-fueled stories about a surprise garden tour invite, backyard makeovers, and a cortisone shot that finally eased bursitis. The episode swings through plans for a backyard 'butt' barbecue contest, a chaotic Danville golf trip, odd news bites (dog mayors and Space Force on the moon), and a wider rant about college sports, the PGA Tour, and the changing soul of the game.
